Congratulations to Lucy Cosette Juedemann for her third place presentation, “Small Data Logics: Community, Creativity, and Zine Culture as a Normative Lens for Human-Centered Information Technology.”

Mentor: Professor Jerilyn Pia Tinio

At the 2026 Purdue Undergraduate Research Conference, students in our Minor in Information Studies examined diverse approaches to information, from data practices to community knowledge. As part of eleven projects presented by twenty-five undergraduates, this project offers a creative and critical perspective on how information systems can be shaped by community-driven values.

Congratulations on a creative and impactful contribution to human-centered information technology! 👏

At the 2026 Purdue Undergraduate Research Conference, our Minor in Information Studies students showcased research on how people engage with and understand information. This project—one of eleven presented by twenty-five ILS undergraduates—demonstrates the power of effective communication strategies in shaping how climate change information is shared and understood.

Excellent work on advancing climate communication research! 👏

Congratulations to Effie Cobbett and Samuel Aaron Brodsky ( ) for their first place (with a high distinction award) presentation, “Campus Climate: Analyzing Rhetoric of Student Produced Environmental Information at Purdue University.”

Mentor: Professor Samantha LeGrand

At the 2026 Purdue Undergraduate Research Conference, students in the Information Studies minor explored how information shapes the world around us, and this award-winning project is a standout example. As part of eleven ILS projects presented by twenty-five undergraduates, their work highlights how student-produced environmental information reflects broader patterns in information creation, communication, and analysis.

We’re proud to see this impactful research recognized! 👏
